Still got a feeling Reading will get 6th.

Really want QPR to stay down. Wigan was a great away day so would want them to stay down. Derby going up suits me, good side as well.

by NickisBHAFC Tue 08 Apr 2014, 9:30 pm

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!!!!!!!!

4-0 UP HAPPY DAYS!!!!!!

Im more shocked than the Undertaker losing on Sunday!!!

Ipswich aren't going away that easily

by NickisBHAFC Tue 08 Apr 2014, 9:54 pm

Incredible win.

It will mean nothing though, if we screw up at home to Charlton on Saturday. But they will be buzzing themselves after a big win at home to Yeovil tonight. Just really hope Oscar goes for another attacking line up.

ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!!!!!

by Shot 21 LCFC Wed 09 Apr 2014, 4:05 pm

Told ya. The players obviously had one too many drinks and thought "we are promoted now, no need to try so hard." Well there is a wake up call if ever one is needed.

Credit to Brighton though. The first (and probably only) team to do the double over us this season.

by NickisBHAFC Wed 09 Apr 2014, 4:40 pm

Also, you play Reading at home on Monday if im right in saying? Wound you up so you can beat them and help us out!!!!

by NickisBHAFC Sat 12 Apr 2014, 6:38 pm

SEEEEEEAGULLLLSSSSSSS

We played attacking football, we weren't negative and we scored 3 goals, finally Mr Garcia is getting things right!!!

Great performance by the lads, hard to pick out a best, but ill give it to Gordon Greer, very solid and had an idiot in the sticks behind him. Captains example today. Dale Stephens, Kazenga Lua Lua and Jessie Lingard also played superbly well.

I missed 2 of our goals. Missed Ulloa's as i wanted a quick pis* before my half time beer and i missed the Forster Caskey goal as i was outside the ground by then!

Keep it up Albion! Huddersfield away on Good Friday. Sadly won't be going to this one. But will be a tough game, ill take a point there for sure. Lets just hope Leciester do us a favour on Monday night.

by Sam Wed 16 Apr 2014, 2:21 pm

Brilliant couple of results for Brighton, as my local team I always like to see you doing well. Fingers crossed you make the play offs.

by NickisBHAFC Wed 16 Apr 2014, 10:16 pm

Another person on here from Haywards Heath??? Christ can't believe im not the only person!

Haha, pretty sure you have said that when I commented somewhere before.

Who have you got this weekend?

by NickisBHAFC Thu 17 Apr 2014, 7:24 pm

Yeah that does ring a bell acctually!

Huddersfield away on good friday, im nervous as my old phrase there due a win comes into play and im sure they know they want 1 more win to be sure on safety. Plus Matt Upson is injured i understand and that is very scary news.

by Marky Thu 17 Apr 2014, 9:07 pm

Sam's probably real, but I still remember when Nick created a fake profile and had public conversations with himself about Brentford FC. Makes us a bit sceptical Wink

by NickisBHAFC Fri 18 Apr 2014, 10:28 pm

Hahahahahha i remember that!

Great point at Huddersfield today, back in the play offs.

Just need to make sure Watford do us a favour tomorrow against Ipswich.

How the bluddy hell did Bruno score!!!!

by NickisBHAFC Sat 19 Apr 2014, 6:24 pm

Watford!!!! Fantastic win helping us out.

Blackpool at home on Monday. Any game in the Championship is hard, this will be just as hard as Leicester away, there all the same.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Sat 19 Apr 2014, 8:41 pm

Errr fairly sure playing a team that's won like no times since forever at home isn't the same as going to the top of the table champions...

by **Dolphin Ziggler** Sun 20 Apr 2014, 12:17 am

Classic Nick

by NickisBHAFC Sun 20 Apr 2014, 11:48 am

Hahaha must admit i had a few beers when i wrote that!

None the less my point is, you simply won't get an easy game in this league. Barnsley at home, they battered us, best side i have seen in this league by a mile. Leicester away, i know it was more, we were brilliant, but it also sounded like they weren't very good. Anything can happen in this league, its crazy! So if any Brighton fan expects 3 points to be waiting for us, they are very very wrong!

by NickisBHAFC Mon 21 Apr 2014, 12:21 pm

Amazed how cocky (coincidence) some Brighton fans are being ahead of the game today. Yes Blackpool are all over the place ATM, but on paper they still have more than enough to easily get a result today, and not to mention our home record against the lower side teams has been nothing short of embarrassing. Last time fans were this confident was Palace at home in May and look how that turned out!

Watch the inevitable 1-0 defeat today then.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 21 Apr 2014, 6:13 pm

Choke choke choke choke choke chokers

They're lucky ballmouth scored a deflected fk against town

by NickisBHAFC Mon 21 Apr 2014, 7:09 pm

As expected we didn't win.

Terrible performance. Blackpool i was very impressed with, they thought very hard as a team, threw there lifes on the line, chased down every ball. If they play like that in the next 2 games, they will stay up for sure.

Us on the other hand, how were 6th in the league is beyond me. Just a crap performance and again inabilty to break teams down. Dale Stephens goal was top draw though. Must admit the referee didn't help today, seemed to make every decison wrong, missed the blatent fouls but pulled up on anything soft.

In Reading's hands now, need Boro to get a result against them tomorrow night.

If we make the play offs, this league is a joke.

by NickisBHAFC Fri 25 Apr 2014, 3:31 pm

If we cant beat Yeovil town at home, we don't deserve to be anywhere near the play offs.

If you wanna watch the game its on SKY, but if you want better entertainment, you could watch Paint Dry.

by GSC Fri 25 Apr 2014, 3:33 pm

Well I ran out of paint during the Chelsea game so itll have to be this

by TopoftheChops Fri 25 Apr 2014, 3:34 pm

COYBIG

by GSC Fri 25 Apr 2014, 3:38 pm

Tbh I'm not really fussed. We'll have to win our last 2 games regardless and hope Reading drop points

by TopoftheChops Fri 25 Apr 2014, 3:41 pm

Hopefully burnley lose tomorrow and beat reading last game of season

by NickisBHAFC Fri 25 Apr 2014, 3:49 pm

Yeah Sean Dyche won't tolerate anything less than 100% so i remain confident Burnley can get something at Reading.

by GSC Fri 25 Apr 2014, 3:56 pm

The formulas pretty simple and only relies on Reading. Not fussed about other games.

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Fri 25 Apr 2014, 9:40 pm

Incredible luck for Brighton with that goal

by NickisBHAFC Fri 25 Apr 2014, 11:20 pm

Rubbish performance, 2 lucky goals, only just scraped past a side that was all but relegated.

Im happy with the win, but the performance really wasn't great. But at this stage of the season its all about the 3 points.

Think Bournemouth have been removed from the battle now, hopefully they can beat Forest tomorrow and remove them as well. Just need Doncaster to do us a huge favor tomorrow against Reading!

Stephen Ward was outstanding tonight, has a shout of being player of the season, he never seems to run out of energy! Solly March was brilliant when he came on and Lewis Dunk and Bruno were solid as always.

by NickisBHAFC Sun 27 Apr 2014, 6:55 pm

Reading winning is a pain in the backside. Wigan though losing means if they lose at Birmingham in the week, its us them and Reading all fighting it out on the last day.

by NickisBHAFC Thu 01 May 2014, 3:18 pm

No matters what happens on saturday, we have come a very very very long way in 5 years.

Cracking video. What a tune as well!

by Marky Thu 01 May 2014, 3:20 pm

Spending millions and still may not make the playoffs. Not ideal...

by NickisBHAFC Thu 01 May 2014, 3:25 pm

Blame Gus. Oscar hasn't spent a penny.

This season we have punched above our weight IMO, obviously we haven't over achived as well as teams like Burnley and Derby. But we have taken our play off fight to the final day, we have finished above teams who have much bigger budgets than us, e.g. Forest, Blackburn, Bolton, Leeds, Middlesbrough. So on that side of things im happy. Giving also we have an incredible amount of injurys e.g. Crofts for 6 months, Bridcutt 6 months, CMS 8 months, Ulloa 3 months. Barnes, Bridcutt and El-Abd leaving in January with no replacements coming in. Also relying on young players e.g. Ince, March, Dunk and Forster Caskey.

Only thing i have been angry about, is its taken till April to ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK!

by NickisBHAFC Fri 02 May 2014, 12:14 pm

So the fun and games come to a conclusion tomorrow. Forest will want to end on a high, which has been another very disappointing season for the size of their football club. Bad news is Greg Halford is suspended, he is rubbish could do with him playing for Forest.

Oscar has done a similar job to Gus, even better if you consider the injuries, the loss of key players, the reduced budget.

Been a good season as a whole, im just disappointed with the negativity in our style at home, i know that could do with the majority of teams coming to the AMEX to play for a point. But since that Leicester game we have learnt to ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK, must be our abuse to the players and management after the Barnsley game Laugh

Still a chance of play offs, but i doubt it. Ashley Barnes chance for you to finally become a Brighton legend!

by GSC Fri 02 May 2014, 12:15 pm

We have one fit CB and its Danny Collins...

by NickisBHAFC Fri 02 May 2014, 12:18 pm

Christ, as i say i will be angry if we don't get something, but Forest will want to end on a high infront of there suffering supporters this season, and Gary Brazil will want to finish on a high for himself and to hand over to Pearce in style. Will be a tough game. I don't want us to think about the Reading game, until we have got the result we need against you lot, no point worrying else where, lets do our business first.

by GSC Fri 02 May 2014, 12:19 pm

We've been absolutely crap against anyone remotely competent for a few months now. I don't get why you're worried.

by NickisBHAFC Fri 02 May 2014, 12:27 pm

For the reasons i stated above, about it being the final day. Like i say ill be angry if we don't get something, but no chance of us getting play offs, Reading won't muck it up.

by GSC Fri 02 May 2014, 1:40 pm

Its been a successful season either way with Brighton currently 69 points above your prediction

Either way, you won't catch me on here tomorrow. Ill either be ...

1. Crying in my bedroom and thinking what if
2. Getting stupidly drunk and loving life, planning our defeat against Derby in the play offs

by TopoftheChops Sat 03 May 2014, 3:00 pm

congrats

by NickisBHAFC Sat 03 May 2014, 6:08 pm

I LOVE FOOTBALL

WE HAVE DONE IT, WE HAVE PUNCHED WELL WELL WELL WELL ABOVE OUR WEIGHT. We have got the play offs? I must be dreaming

Incredible achievement. Oscar Garcia is god. No longer a boring robot. May of smashed 4 pint glasses when Ulloa scored, all worth it. Can only say sorry and look forward to Derby smashing us

But as always, i am so proud to be a Brighton fan. Incredible last day.
